All For The Best

Four topiary unicorns in front of Doddington Hall represent the crest of the Jarvis family that own the estate. Part of their family crest is the slogan All For The Best.

On Sunday, we drove to the house to visit the gardens and the hall. The house was built in 1600 and the interior was redecorated in Georgian style in 1760.

Doddington Hall has never been sold, but the owners' family name has changed five times because the house has often passed through the female line.

Again it was a great day out and time well-spent in the many gardens surrounding the house and in the house itself. One of the rooms is decorated with an Egyptian tent.
